Richmond Public Schools is investigating a cybersecurity incident that left students and staff without access to digital educational materials Wednesday.
Multiple RPS employees told VPM News Wednesday morning they encountered a message on their district-issued laptops warning of a potential data breach.
In an afternoon statement, Superintendent Jason Camras said the district took their internet access offline as a precaution.
As a result, phone and email service as well as access to online classroom tools and learning platforms were impacted.
Kamras added that they are working with external cybersecurity experts and law enforcement to understand the full scope of the incident.
RPS students and staff are expected to attend school as scheduled.
